Martin Mares 3991d84e8f Changed initialization of protocol list -- now we call proto_build() instead
of calling the protocols manually.

Implemented printing of dynamic attributes in `show route all'.

Each protocol can now register its own attribute class (protocol->attr_class,
set to EAP_xxx) and also a callback for naming and formatting of attributes.
The callback can return one of the following results:

	GA_UNKNOWN	Attribute not recognized.
	GA_NAME		Attribute name recognized and put to the buffer,
			generic code should format the value.
	GA_FULL		Both attribute name and value put to the buffer.

Please update protocols generating dynamic attributes to provide
the attr_class and formatting hook.

Core
~~~~
- config: when parsing prefix, check zero bits
- static: check validity of route destination?
- static: allow specifying a per-route filter program for setting route attributes?
- krt: rescan interfaces when route addition fails?
- tagging of external routes?
- when an identical route is received, don't trigger updates
Commands
~~~~~~~~
- showing of routing table as seen by given protocol
- printing of dynamic attributes
Documentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- write doctool
- write documentation :|
Globals
~~~~~~~
- right usage of DBG vs. debug
- kill preconfigs?
- check dump functions
- cleanup debugging calls
- logging and tracing; use appropriate log levels
- check incoming packets and log errors!!
- check log calls for trailing newlines and log levels followed by comma
- check if all protocols set proper packet priorities and TTL's.
- replace all NUM, IPA and expr tokens by constant filter expressions
- try compiling with -Wunused
- does everybody test return value of sk_open?
- doc: references to RFC's we did follow
- protocols: implement CLI hooks and per-procotol CLI commands
- protocols: implement reconfigure hook
- protocols: use locking
- check use of system includes and sprintf()
Various ideas
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- netlink: import Linux route attributes to our rta's, so that they can be filtered?
- config: executable config files
- client: access control
- io: use poll if available
- IPv6 router advertisements
- real multipath (doesn't seem to be simple at all :()
- fake multipath (even less simple)
- route recalculation timing and flap dampening [see RFC2439 for algorithms]
- aggregate engine: standard route aggregation and summarization [RFC2519]
- aggregate engine: injection of manually configured pseudo-static routes
- generate default route if any working BGP connection exists (aggregate engine again?)
- generate default route to IGP's (aggregate engine yet another time?)
- look at RFC 2386 (QoS-based routing)
RIP
~~~
OSPF
~~~~
- refuse running on non-multicast devices
- importing of device routes for networks where we don't run OSPF
- check incoming packets using neighbor cache
- RFC2328 appendix E: Use a better algorithm
- automatic generation of external route tags (RFC1403)
- RFC1587 NSSA areas
- RFC2370 opaque LSA's
- respect interface MTU and try not to create larger packets unless unavoidable
